    James Hoffer: Musician

    Todays interview is with James Hoffer. I first met James in the mid-1990s, as he was playing in bands like Thread, later known as Forefront, around the Richmond Punk Scene. And together with bands like Indypendant, they were part of a group of bands from south of the river, here in the Richmond Hardcore scene. And over the years, James has kept on playing in bands, and writing and releasing music. So it was awesome to catch up with him, and talk about his experience growing up, getting into punk, and what the process is like now, as a musician playing in a few different bands, such as Dead Format, Full Collapse, and Rough Age.

    Pedro Aida: Musician, Recording Engineer

    Today's interview is with Pedro Aida. Pedro is a musician, a vocalist and guitarist that began playing in punk bands in the 1990s. He also is known as a recording engineer, who got his start at Richmond's Sound of Music, before opening his own studio, Audio Verite. Currently he plays in three bands, the band Fire Sale, which is kind of a punk rock supergroup, Shotclock, and The Iron Roses, in which he is most active. It was great to talk to Pedro, and learn about how he came into engineering and punk rock. And also talk about some of the technical aspects of things from studios, to good vocal practices, and song writing. We cover a lot in a relatively short time. I love when these episodes have practical information mixed in with stories, and this a great example of one.

    Jenny McGurk: Visual Storyteller

    For 20 years, Jenny Mcgurk made things for the sets of the film, video, and ad industry. And then one day, she realized it was not fitting where she was at in life any more. So she took a class on something she was interested in, and a whole new world opened for her, a life of work in the spiritual realm. Today, she offers a variety of spiritual services, painting, readings, as well as connecting her love of history and storytelling together, in offering tours of of the city of Richmond, all drawing on a continued love for learning, and sharing.

    Chris Unrath: Musician, Recording Engineer

    Todays conversation is with musician, and recording engineer, Chris Unrath. Chris has been playing in bands around Philadelphia, since 1980. First in the punk band No Milk, then again in the more alternative band, Baby Flamehead, which kind of blew up for a bit. And today, he's still playing in rock bands. But perhaps my favorite band of his, was when he was in Helen Back and the str8-razors, in the 2000s, partially because thats how i met him, but also, because that band f*****g rocks. It was really cool to get on the phone with Chris, and learn his backstory, anow hes just been wanting to play that chunky, rhythm guitar, and doing it, for most of his life. Chris currently plays in the Philadelphia band, The Action Party.

    Earl Yevak: Musician, Tattooist, Artist

    Todays episode is with Earl Yevak. Earl is a musician, artist, and tattoo artist, currently located in Denver, Colorado. I've known Earl since the late 1990s, from hanging our and going to hardcore shows here in Richmond, VA. So this conversations goes into topics that go WAY back, from his life in Straight Edge and Hardcore, being one of, essentially, the founders of the Guerilla Crew, joinging the Army reserve and deploying to Iraq, his decision to leave both his faith as well as straight edge, and a quest to keep pushing himself and evolving as a human being, all the while making music and art, and Tattoos.

    Bo Dillard: Vocals for Flag On Fire, Owner / Artist at True Till Death Tattoo and Records

    I met Bo here in Richmond, Virginia, around 1994, when he sang for the band Uphill Down, and worked at the local indie record store, Soundhole. And between those two things, Bo kinda changed my life. One, by the model of his band and how it operated to us young southisde Richmond, VA punk kids, even going so far as to record us, and help us source tapes, and two, from his recommendations of music we'd get whenever we came in looking for something new to listen to. He was just being the person he is, and because of it, I think many folks felt his influence.So it was great to catch up with Bo, and talk a little about those earlier days, and bands, and also to see where that journey has lead him now, as an adult, still making art and punk rock music, and doing it well. An example of which would his bands new record, which will be releasing soon.

    Doug Nunnally: Music Journalist, The Auricular, The Newlin Music Prize

    Todays interview is with Doug Nunnally of The Auricular. Doug started reviewing music around 2009, on his music blog, and quickly discovered the depth of music here in the city of Richmond, VA. Since then, Doug has gone on to extensively document and champion this music, most notably with The Auricular, a online publication that serves as a distillation of his love for exposing, appreciating, and encouraging Richmond music. And in the spirit of this mission, in Doug created The Newlin Music Prize, a prize given to a local band each year, judged by, at last count, a jury of over 80 music-related journalists, photographers, documenters, etc. And Doug does all of this, as a side job. So I was excited to get to talk to Doug, and learn what feeds this love of music, and how it all started.
